Some Cool SEO Tools
When it comes to SEO and internet marketing as a whole, you’re going to need all the help that you can get to make sure that everyone notices your website. There are actually a lot of tools on the Internet that you can use for this purpose and many of them can be accessed for free. Here are three of the best SEO tools that you can use to find out how your website is faring so far.
Everyone knows how important link popularity is in SEO. If you want to find out how many sites are linking back to your pages, ValidRank is one tool that you should try. This is a backlink checker that does more than just tell you which sites are linking to you. It also provides additional information like the Page Rank of the pages that are linking back and whether or not the web page uses a nofollow tag. It will also tell you how many outbound links there are on that web page.
You can use Excel 2007’s “Import Web Query†option so you can gather the information provided on the site in a format that is easier to use.
This is another SEO tool that you can use to find out who is talking about your website. WhosTalkin goes over various social networking sites such as Facebook, hi5, Friendster and MySpace to gather information. It also checks data from Blogdigger, FriendFeed, Wordpress, Twitter and Google Blog Search to name a few.
SeoQuake SEO
The SeoQuake is an indispensable tool that can help you estimate just how effective and competitive your SEO efforts have become. You can use the tool to analyze your internet marketing campaigns and projects. You can use it for PageRank, to determine incoming links, DMOZ listing and Delicious mentions. You can also use it to find out if your pages are getting bookmarked and if they are getting into the Whois listings. SeoQuake can also help you identify secondary key phrases according to your existing content. It tells you how often you have used the phrase on the page and how it is positioned in the content (i.e. Title, keyword tag or description)
The best thing about these SEO tools is that they make trial-and-error for Internet marketing strategies a lot easier. By using these tools, you can easily determine what part of your campaign works and which one will need to be improved on.
